Now Know What Glutened Feels Like

Hey all:

I have been (as best able) to be gluten free for about 4 weeks. WAS feeling better and stronger.

I added a new Revlon Lipstick, Progresso Cream of Mushroom Soup and a Chicken Salad tray at our local grill (which may have come out of a large pre-prepared jug).

Does anyone know of any "kooties" in the Lipstick, or Progresso Soup.

I made a crabmeat casserole with the soup, everything else was natural and used Hellmans Mayo.

I feel so weak, exausted, my eyelids feel like they have weights on them and I stare at the dishes in the sink, like they are going to jump into the dishwasher. I also have some dia.... and feel sharp (pin-like) pains in my small intestines, most likely from inflamation.

Is this was what "getting glutened" is like???? I recieved a B-12 injection today and will have more once a week for a month. Hope that that will bring my energy level back.

Thank goodness that I am able to stay at home and not have a full-time job. I just don't know how some of you do it.

Would welcome any inpute.

PS - Hurricane Ophelia was good to us. Not so good to those south of us.

Hi Lisa!

I am glad you "weathered the storm", so to speak....... and Ophelia was kind to you...... I hope the people south of you will recover quickly.

Yep, sounds like a gluten attack to me...... Just have to let it run its course......

Hugs.

I know for sure the soup was okay, I was so happy to find that out, so is thier split pea with ham and a few others, they mark the labels very well and I have never noticed any crosscontamination issues with Progresso soups. I would suspect the lipstick or the Chicken salad tray. Call the company about the lipstick or do a search under products. I would not touch a deli prepared anything, too much risk of cross-contamination and who knows what could have been in the jugged mix. It sounds like you got 'got' good, time will heal, hope you feel better soon. We all, I think, learn the hard way to call about everything till companies get smart and start labeling clearly.

You said that you made crab casserole, did you use real crab meat or did you use fake crab? The fake crab and lobster usually contains wheat (at least all the ones I've looked at....)

Totally pure, handed picked crab from the beach ....(maybe the hand-picked?)

But most likely the chicked salad from the grill.

Saw on a gluten-free site that all Almay and Revlon lipsticks are gluten-free.

This is the pitts, I feel like I have "mono", like I had in college.

Thanks for the input....

Lisa -

I had a lot of problems with grilled food, too. I only eat off my own grill now, and that was only after I completely cleaned the grates.

Must be glutened, I can't even find the right keys to type a post.

Please excuse all the errors in typing my previous posts. Hands and brain are not on the same road.

Hey, someone tell celiac3270 that I finally found the search on the site, so I can not post redundent questions...( I'm so proud of myself that I can't stand it!!)...I'd put on one of those smiley faces.........but still working on that...as said before, "old dog, new tricks".. If you'll bare with me, I'll hang in there with YA'LL...

Thanks Karen, you always seem to be there for me, (as well as others)

Hope this will pass soon.

Lisa,

I hope you are feeling better real soon, I know for me it not only affects me physically when I get glutened, but also emotionally. I become what I can only describe as a cross between an emotional wreck :unsure: and an explosive monster!!! :angry:

The grill had to be contaminated. That's where I would put my money...... <_<

Also, as for always being there for you, hey, what are fellow celiacs for??? ;) Just think, sometime down the road you are going to be a pro at this and you will be the one supporting and encouraging the newbies!!! (You will be an absolute computer pro by then!!! ;) )

Hugs.

Sorry you're not feeling well. I got glutened the other day from the McDonald's Grilled Chicken Caesar. It didn't dawn on me that picking out the croutons would contaminate me. :huh: One of these days I'll get this gluten-free diet down.

Be careful about drinks too. I unknowingly glutened myself with Tropicana Lemonade (2-litre) and IBC Black Cherry soda.

I'm amazed at how easily I gluten myself. You don't think about it being in drinks or cosmetics or that's not bread based. (At least I didn't.)

I'd be suspicious of the chiken itself as well. I once got glutened from chicken soup. I was so careful about the stock I used and the spices but still got terribly sick. I've heard that some companies inject their meat with a solution of "stuff" to plump it up and add weight. I think this is what did it to me. I know perdue is gluten-free but I don't think this was perdue. Anyway, that might be the case with your chicken salad.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you get better soon.

Stephanie

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
